Do I love travel, I do, I really honestly do, I love it more than hard cheese and honey of which I like very very much and I like it more than an Aperol spritz, of which I also love a great deal. Now you see my genuine love you can trust me when I show you the best products in Kiosk stores right now to gift yourself or a lucky someone who is heading off on a holiday or gap year.

Kinto Travel tumbler

Hydration is paramount, whether walking the Inca trail, hydrating after an evening on the Ouzo or preparing for a long flight. The tumblers are great at keeping liquids cold (or hot), great to hold and will happily blend into any environment you throw at them.

A Pico organic cotton singlet (vest to the Brits)

This single piece of cotton fabric will see you through all seasons and places, by itself while you do Yoga on the beach, as an added layer when you visit a place that is chilly, as a top when it is hot and to sleep in on your week in the villa. It washes brilliantly, dries quickly and is as flattering to look at, as it is functional.

The Incense Match

A small (and very lite) booklet of 30 matches that strike like a match but burn like incense. We have all stayed in those Air Bnbs that require a little getting used to and nothing brings about room change like a quick minute of incense to calm your nerves and help your outlook. Also fantastic to wake up to and of course to cleanse the bathroom when sharing a house.

Baggu Foldable Hat

There is no better way to protect yourself than with a hat (from the sun not a robber) but the packing of a hat is problematic, how many straw hats have you thrown away into the airport bins. Baggu have made a wide brimmed, washable, cotton, foldable and actually very chic hat. It has chin straps for wind and an adjustable headband, so your whole gang can share it.
